Isn't the original Masters of the Universe or something?

So barring Cystitis and Thrush - which erotic literature is the good stuff?
Got something called shagging, pleasing something vaguely along those lines about audrey. Was a bit shit too. Lets find something good.................

Thank you, thank you for this thread Grin I bought this for my Kindle a few days ago and its absolute shite, its worse than shite. I'm half way through and for the first time ever I'm not going to finish a book. Its so boring and I'm tempted to bite her feckin' lip just to stop her banal witterings.

A friend recommended this and I thought I'd buy it to take on holiday...after reading this I don't think I'll bother. Like to read a bit of smut and used to buy Black Lace...hubby's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he read a page over my shoulder once. :) Are they still available?

DREADFUL. Awful fiction and dire erotica

susiedaisy · 06/06/2012 19:06

pooh or cystitis!! Smile

susiedaisy · 06/06/2012 19:05

Sex scenes def not worth it!!

smokinaces · 06/06/2012 17:49

The sex scenes are completely not worth it.

I got bored of them by the third one. Same old same old.

TalHotBlond · 06/06/2012 17:37

The main character is making me stabby. The sex scenes better be worth it.

PoohBearsHole · 06/06/2012 17:36

I am curious as to know how after having soooo much sex alllllllllllll the time, why she has never had thrush.

LetUsPrey · 06/06/2012 17:33

I have visions of signs being put up in charity shop windows "Please do not donate any more copies of Fifty Shades of Grey - we have enough"

nosleepwithworry · 06/06/2012 17:14

crap, utter utter biggest pile of shite have ever had the misfortune to be given.

susiedaisy · 06/06/2012 17:13

Oh so it's a comedy Grin

neverknowinglyinterferring · 06/06/2012 14:54

I thought it was hilarious.

You're a joyless lot Wink

Tryharder · 06/06/2012 14:24

I went and bought it and got 2 chapters in and have now abandoned it in boredom. Agree with someone further up thread, if you want smut, try Lace or Scruples.

PorkyandBess · 05/06/2012 23:00

It's so bad - I am still traumatised. I haven't met anyone in rl who liked it. I flicked/speed read most of it. I was hoping Pervy Perverson might accidentally kill that stupid woman to put us out of our misery. Alas, no.

I feel very sorry for anyone who might get their kicks from such badly written shite.

I threw it in the brown bin, as I couldn't bear to inflict in on anyone else.

TerraNotSoFirma · 05/06/2012 22:55

So if someone wanted an erotic fiction novel to maybe get a bit of a sex drive back........What would she buy?

(Hypothetically speaking obv.)

Zay04 · 05/06/2012 22:36

I read it after the huge facebook hypr, what utter rubbish. If i read the sentance 'stop biting your lip...' one more time, i'll scream. Like others found myself flickinh through thr sex scenes, they were just repetitive....can't understand how it is a best seller. Thank god i managed to get it for free and did not waste my money....rant over

MrsBovary · 05/06/2012 19:00

It's a pile of piffle, I'd almost forgotten I'd read it, though I didn't actually finish. Lots of people seem to be talking about it, however.

smokinaces · 05/06/2012 18:56

Thank Christ I only paid three quid in Asda. And didnt bother getting book two and three

smokinaces · 05/06/2012 18:55

Oh thank god. I was beginning to feel like the only person to find it utter shit. It's half read on my bedroom floor and has been for a week or so. It's awful I have books from lovehoney better written, with better sex.

susiedaisy · 05/06/2012 18:41

Curiosity that's why it's at the top of the chart! Smile

janmoomoo · 05/06/2012 17:30

Biggest pile of dreadful drivel I have read in ages. Finished it because I was on holiday and didn't have anything else. Then threw it in the bin in the airport. Boring, repetative, badly written and not even vaguely tittivating.

How come it is top of the Amazon chart??

macthecatsmum · 04/06/2012 19:07

Oh yeah-absolute bolleaux. the sex gets REALLY boring.she is wet AND stupid and he is a total nutjob.Your inner (or outer) feminist will scream at you. but it is what kindle is for-stuff you are embarrassed to actually buy in print. In fact, does anyone else get really fed up with amount of sheer awfulness on kindle?

hackmum · 04/06/2012 18:50

I haven't read it but am puzzled by the hype - I mean, anyone would think that erotic fiction was hard to come by. Haven't these people come across a dirty book before?
